The Civil Service recognises that a skilled, capable, and engaged public service is essential to delivering high-quality services to the people of the Cayman Islands. This policy reaffirms CIG’s commitment to providing L&D opportunities that support the advancement of Caymanians within the Civil Service and facilitates the strengthening of competencies of all civil servants.

This policy establishes a unified, “One CIG” framework for L&D across all ministries, portfolios, and departments, ensuring that civil servants are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and behaviours required for current and future needs. By strengthening individual capability and performance on the job, the policy directly supports higher standards of public service, better results for ministries and portfolios, and improved outcomes for the people of the Cayman Islands.

The purpose of the L&D policy is to:

• Promote a culture of continuous learning and professional growth.

• Ensure access to high-quality learning opportunities.

• Align individual development with organisational priorities.

• Establish clear roles, responsibilities, and processes for learning and development.
